Lyrics

Free On The Road
V1
The sun's dipping low, the horizon's on fire,
Got the wheel in my hand and a heart's full of desire.
No maps, no plans, just the wind in my face
Every mile behind me, gone without a trace

PC
The darkness descends as I wait for the moon
with stars as my compass as they come up soon
I’m chasing the silence, the wild, and the unknown,
With every twist and turn, I seek a brand new home.

C
I’m free on the road, where the asphalt meets the sky,
Where the mountains kiss the clouds now I have learned to fly
No chains, no walls, just the open unknown,
I’m free on the road, and I’m never ever alone.

V2
The cities fade fast, just a glow in my rearview,
The highway’s my heartbeat, it’s steady and it’s true.
I’ve got dreams in my pocket and time on my side,
Every curve an experience on this special ride

PC
The headlights cut through the soft velvet night,
The world feels endless, and everything’s alright.
I’m a nomad, a drifter, a soul set aflame,
And the road keeps on, calling out my name.

C
I’m free on the road, where the asphalt meets the sky,
Where the mountains kiss the clouds now I’ve learned to fly
No chains, no walls, just the open unknown,
I’m free on the road, and I’m never ever alone.

B
Some say it’s lonely, but I’ve got the breeze,
The whispers of pines and the songs of the seas.
The road’s my companion, it’s steady and its true,
And it leads me to places I never once knew.

C
I’m free on the road, where the asphalt meets the sky,
Where the mountains kiss the clouds now I’ve learned to fly
No chains, no walls, just the open unknown,
I’m free on the road, and I’m never ever alone.
I’m free on the road, and I’m never ever alone
Never ever alone

Oh I want to go wherever you guys are going!!!! what a great collab. @mandolinda your energy is effervescent and life affirming. you have such a presence and conviction in your performance.
@coolparadiso sounds like you know just a little bit about life out on the open road. :0) we'll all be showing up with our sleeping bags very soon. This song is so uplifting and the story is a familiar one. the one of folk heroes and troubadours. it runs in our blood. just beautiful!

I like the jaunty sound of that guitalele! Excellent and well-crafted lyrics that take us on the road with the narrator ... ramble on!

The song rambles in such a good way...love how roads seem to imply freedom. Music matches the lyrics wonderfully!

This song captures the spirit of a life on the move. The melody has the apropriate folky feeling and the lyrics paint the wonderful picture of the vagabond life.

What a wonderful journey and fabulous storytelling! The lyrics take us on a great adventure and allow us to see their joyful perspective. The music flows beautifully and moves it forward perfectly with the lovely melody and vocals!

Loving this ride. Takes me back to my RV days. @mandolinda’s vocals add a nice folk song flavor, that fits like a driving glove!

@coolparadiso writes SUCH good lyrics--and obviously he's inspired by that lifestyle he has that I'm so jealous of, traveling around in his RV and doing...whatever. Great, great vocal on his @mandolinda ! Love the collaboration! ❤️

John's written a mature Hakuna Matata, ever forward/no worries for what's past, and Linda's imbued his words with carefree forward motion.
Excellent collab!

I can see what these lyrics might have been inspired by your current life style in your temporary life on wheels lifestyle 😄 Fantastic imagery and great story telling. The guitelele has such a warm low sound - I really like it. Lovely upbeat pace and a very engaging melody. Excellent job with the vocals also. What a nice collab.

I love the free wheelin' lyric, the vagabond life feels absolutely enthralling with this lovely description of the countryside. I'm picturing all of the places I've traveled to in the past decade or so. A love trip down memories via the lovely lyric and the lovely melody and the lovely vocalizing.

Both the lyrics and the music really capture a care-free sense on wandering along a long road. Packed with beautiful imagery and contemplative contentment. Great singing, really loving the vibrato there and the melody is really pretty.
